A2 I want to be better prepped in my subject. I have been moved around a bit usually last minute so prep is a luxury #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:26 PM EDT

A2: Not tech... but I want the kids to know each other. I h8 @ end of year when they ask who a S is who has been in their class! #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge I teach 7th & 8th grade Science and also STEM classes, the new Sci standards focus a lot on engineering #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A3: I would 3> 2 create some meaningful & achievable tasks 4 my Ss to complete. They need help building stamina for these things. #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:31 PM EDT

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A3 I want to create some virtual field trips w/ #GoogleCardboard so the kids can complete some projects with this Need 360 camera #fusdTchat

@theteachingjedi Hey Kevin!!! Welcome to the chat! #fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:35 PM EDT

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:37 PM EDT

I found this article online. #fusdTchat WeAreTeachers: 10 Rules for a Successful One-to-One Classroom https://t.co/kXP9v8dxHa

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @alicekeeler can help you with that. She has them with her mark on them #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I love that! Any ideas you'd like to share? #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A4: be flexible, don't freak out if stuff doesn't work, make sure where you want kids to go isn't blocked #fusdtchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A3: I do a Holocaust Lit Circle that will incorporate #hyperdocs, & I'm very interested in Genius Hour & digital portfolios too. #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:39 PM EDT

I liked this quote " I once had so much congestion by R cart that I had 2 map out lanes of traffic with duct tape. " https://t.co/7a4KdTtink

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@sdmorias w/1:1 you have to keep Ss busy or they will stray where you don't want them to be. #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge we are trying to get a cornfield up and running, tie in our AG roots #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach O crap, that would be horrible if my lesson was blocked on the kid's computers. I never thought of that! #fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4: I'm all ears, since we're going 1:1 in the fall too. I know that I'm excited tho :) #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@sdmorias always check the day of on the school wifi to make sure #fusdTchat #itshappenedtome

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi what devices are you getting? #fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @sdmorias Me too, https://t.co/x0Ua1y4GKi was blocked in our comp lab, & I needed the to do research. #planb #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@sdmorias cool! We are 1:1 Chromebooks and I also have a set of Nexus tablets #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Q5: What expectations/rules do you give your students when they have technology.#fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach Chromebooks. Not sure the brand tho. They're working out budget stuff still. @MrPrincipalRock is fighting for them!#fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A5: if you have to hide it from me then you shouldn't be doing it #fusdtchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I can envision all sorts of cool design ideas and drafting concepts for engineering kids #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I like that motto! #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi @MrPrincipalRock they are worth every penny, I have been able to differentiate and do so much more with them #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge we're working on tying in more math too, make the math more applicable, show kids real work applications #fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A5: Failed bad 3 wks ago. Big collab hyperdoc, too much novelty, Ss jacked w/ each other instead. They need explicit instruction. #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @CharmaineGeorge I always wanted to create units with other subjects to tie the two together. #fusdTchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @MrPrincipalRock This is what I'm looking forward to! #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A5: you won't catch everything, but if your lesson is engaging they won't stray to other places. Not all mine were this year 😁 #fusdtchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi Can you clarify for me, a hyperdoc an app with other apps in it?? #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:51 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi I had a simular goof when I opened a doc and everyone was typing at once. LOL #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 7:51 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi I had that problem with a shared slide deck, DISASTER!! But tried again with more purposeful direction #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:59 PM EDT

#fusdTchat https://t.co/zVfDTHUdSE

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 7:58 PM EDT

Q7 What new tech would you like to learn to incorp in your class or enhance your skills?

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:00 PM EDT

A7: I would like to app smash. #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 8:02 PM EDT

A7: more videos, and more hyperdocs both teacher & student created #fusdtchat

theteachingjedi Jun 8 @ 8:04 PM EDT

A7: Besides the #hyperdocs, I'd like to get my Ss blogging this year, about everything. Writing for an authentic audience. #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach What do you envision students creating here? #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A7 not tech, but I want to teach my kids more cyber responsibility. They don't get that at all #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge That is such a great point! #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@sdmorias we did a lot of screencasting this year, but I want more Mythbuster-ish, like this is why this happens #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach O Man!!! That's such a great idea!!!! #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach @sdmorias AWESOME! Idea #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge we are working on that district wide next year #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@sdmorias #googleclassroom is great to do this #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi Blogging is great. It makes Ss use so many new tools they have not learned to use before #fusdTchat

sdmorias - Moderator Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@CharmaineGeorge I'm excited for Clovis Bootcamp to learn more about it! #fusdTchat

CrazySciTeach Jun 8 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@theteachingjedi are you doing the HyperDocs online summer class? #fusdTchat

CharmaineGeorge Jun 8 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@sdmorias I'm so excited too for cusd Bootcamp :) #fusdTchat
